The Islanders was in the game already at Thursday when the Teams junior dragsters was qualified #8 ( Maja) and #18 ( Birgitte) in a incredible tight field of 48 junior dragsters.
Paul Ingar was ready to do some good numbers in the first qualifying round of top methanol dragster Friday afternoon, but when he backed up after the burnout a malfunction on the steering placed the dragster across the track and he needed to shut off…. The team was a bit confused about this problem but they solved it within one hour and the dragster was ready for the second round at the evening.With 5 cars in the 5,5 already after 1 qualifying round the team had some pressure on them to tune the car for a fast pass in the same 5,5 range to insure a good qualifying spot. The car left the line nice and the run was straight, the time was 5,60 – 404kmt and good for the #5 spot. The team was happy with this run until the fueltest , the fuel was not clear and the run was disqualified !! Some problems taking the test from the tank had given some crud and old fuel from the pipelines at the sample, noting wrong with the type and value of the fuel but disqualified anyway.
